Honorary Assassin

Many legends have worn the number seven shirt for Manchester United over the years. George Best, Bryan Robson, David Beckham, and not too long ago Christiano Ronaldo. And then there is United's footballer of the century "King Eric" Cantona.

King Eric's illustrious career with United included four league titles, two FA cup wins, and winning the Charity Shield three times.

But according to Cantona, the greatest moment of his career came on January 25, 1995. After being shown a red card for a questionable challenge against Crystal Palace, King Eric was leaving a pitch when a Crystal Palace fan began heckling Cantona relentlessly. Cantona's response? To deliver a flying kung-fu kick to the fans chest. And for that, on behalf of the Ben Chi's Assassins, I would like to offer Eric Cantona an honorary spot on our squad for all of eternity.
